my happy new year eve 

doing nothing now cuz waiting for Yen mei who is still currently in college to send me the pix and the yahoo briefcase system appears to be down and my com and my brother's com both died and i have no scanner now but i need to finish the PDP exhibition powerpoint before school reopens.

which is why i am at chia yi's house now. thanks chia yi for lending me ur com! or rather... ur bro's com. =P at least i can do some if not all the stuff today... if not wait till my com repaired or sch com... would take ages and ages. and then other pple also not so shou2. wont lend me their com anyways.

oh, later going to wei min's place. yay!! supposed to go there early, but i've not fully recovered from my rain-caused flu, so better not spend too much time around david. sigh. now sch reopening means no more chance of visiting him till the next sch break. SIGH. This morning was spent sitting there at the booth waiting for pple to come. With jun Ming, Stanley. Until ten. Then i was waiting for the rain to stop when this SPH reporter strolled into sch. She wanted to look for the SC. So i brought her to the SC room, and the room was open... but nobody in sight. (note to SC pple... lock ur door.) So in the end i gave her XinRu and Ivan and Royston's number. And den she asked abt our fundraising thingy... so i told her a bit and this and that.

and DEN i came here lor. This time i din get lost. hah hah hah. so happy. everyone here is always so nice. i like this place alot. =P

----------------------

Mmm... just had lunch. auntie chaoqun whipped up a nice meal for us. and as usual, chia yi and his dad ate faster than everybody else. haha. now i know why chiayi eats so super fast everytime. haha. auntie chaoqun said not to bother 'bout them... cuz she too haven started eating. haha. =) she's so cute. oh, chiaying and Kim just came back for lunch. hmmm... haven seen Kim for some time le...

i feel sick. 

ok. i tot medicine supposed to make u better?

I feel sicker by each passing day. geez. no fair. which means i cant go early tomorrow to play wif david. And i have to stay away from david whole night. that is SO unfair. sigh.

now have this splitting headache dunno why and i took like 4 types of medicine. Not that it is any use anyway.

I have to chiong out the PDP exhibition powerpoint slide, but my com died. and my scanner cant work on my bro's com for some weird reason and my bro's com doesn have photoshop and cant hold anything more anyway. Wonder what he loads in his com making it left with so little memory and space.

Hope i can find somewhere to do my stuff tomorrow.

argh. i'm dying of pain and suffering from the stupid flu and wadnot. oh, today's turn out not fantastic, but ok la, the TJCians who donated donated ALOT. Like got a few just walk here with a few hundred bucks and just donated like they own the bank. whoosh. we all just stunned when we saw this girl with a five hundred dollar cheque followed by a guy with three hundred cheque. woah. who says JC students are poor? Or maybe we're just nicer la hor, TJCians are kind souls who do community service readily. rite? =P

ok. die. my initial place to do my powerpoint thingy is now gone... my fren will be out tomorrow. oh somebody save me.

i realise i do not make sense here because once again the medicine is taking effect. and i am also once again talking to a person that sounds super unfriendly like i permanantly owe him a hundred bucks. so ya. i am starting to feel irritated and annoyed and tired and drained and....

ah. forget it. as if u care.

Tsunami Victims need your help! 

Calling all TJCians, the past and present, and all friends!

The urgency of aid for the Tsunami Disaster should be obvious to all.
The affected countries require cash assistance more than anything
else. The Leo Club of Temasek Junior College is thus setting up a
booth in our college in the next two days collecting cash donations
from TJCians and the public on behalf of Singapore Red Cross Society.
All donations collected shall be to help the victims of the Tsunami
Disaster. The 23rd Board of Directors will be at the booth during the
times below to collect any cash or cheques donated for this cause. The
College has also kindly offered to give out Temasek JC NEWater bottles
to any $10 and above donations. We hope you can donate generously and
also help to spread the message to everyone on your contact list. =)

Details:-
Dates: 30th and 31st December 2004, Thursday and Friday
Time: 30th ---> 8am - 6pm
31st ---> 8am - 3pm
Venue: Temasek Junior College Cafeteria
Cheques should be made payable to Singapore Red Cross Society.

Thank you for taking time to read this message and to pass it on.

P.S
To current TJCians: Mrs Lim should have already gotten someone to post
a similar message onto the college matrix or college website, so do
ask your friends to check there for further details. Try to pass this
on to your PDP leaders so that they can reach all their members. That
way, we should be able to spread this message to the entire college
population before school reopens(and hopefully within these 2 days).
Yr2 Seniors (03 batch) please help us pass this on to your graduated
yr2 classmates. Missing all of u, btw. =P Thank you everyone for all
your help.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

okie. composed this mass e-mail to be passed down. Many of u should have received it. The only failure delivery i noe of is Kang hao. Dunno wad he doing wif his e-mail. But anywayz....PLEASE help. Mrs Lim, as our darling Mrs Lim is, has called the press, budden usually they will only give such things a small column lor, so need all your help. The HwaChongians, get ur college to help too!!!! We all alliance, remember?? =P

Sigh. and the notice was so short, like just proposed to mrs lim and she immediately took action. she IS efficient. Like she call the press like their her parents.... she always does, rite?

ok. since such short notice, guess who's doing all the work? US, the 23rd board of directors. as usual rite? we just do everything wad, anyway. Like the 2nd SC. haiz. tomorrow i should be at school from lunch time onwards. My shift is 4-6pm. But somehow i have a feeling lunch time will have pple. and they will need help. 12 pple on shift for 1 and 1/2 days. each shift only 2 pple...

wadeva. its for a good cause. hehe. mrs lim so cute, she just came to us halfway thru our meeting then asked us for details and asked us "are u guys game to start tomorrow?" (our initial plan was when sch reopens.) we were just stunned.... then everone nodded our heads. wad else can we do, she's the head of the college wad. Young principal, got more drive and energy than others. GOOD. like her more and more.... hahaha...she's cool. Next time if i wanna be a principal, i must do the job as well as her. if not, rather not do. =) She's e bez!

oh ya, and those NEWater... TJC brand one. hahaha.... TJCians should have seen it before. quite amusing when mrs lim suggested it. haha... talk abt creative incentives. i tink she also giving TJC post-its. i like those! i want to get some too...! but of cuz i will donate la. i wont just 'kope' from the booth mah. =P I got alot of integrity okay.

我真的很想他。 

我也很想他 我们都一样...
i remember how i couldn get rid of this line from Stef Sun's song in my head. Was so permernantly stuck there for 10 days. Now i saw the entire song lyrics posted on a LEP but Taiwan trip gal's blog.

那时我们总有好多话
什么事都可以讲
我的爱情比你早
却一直放在心上
后来你们之间的变化
我不想再多说话
经过了相遇和挣扎
我还是无法将他放下
那是多久后的事了
有一天你突然问我在那个时候
是否也爱着他

我也很想他 我们都一样
在他的身上曾找到翅膀
只是那时的他 是因为你他开始飞翔
我也很想他 在某个地方
我少了尴尬 你少了肩膀
而夏天还是那么短 思念却很长

还记得
那年我们三个许下的愿望
星星骗了我们 我们却因此上了一课
成长必修的学分

我们都一样

--"我也很想他 " 孙燕姿


haha. looks like 我们真的都一样。I cant relate totally to the song, some parts only, but i really like it. And somehow the 你们 and 我 makes the song confusing to me. Until now i still don really get it and the story its trying to tell. But when in China/Taiwan, i guess u really miss home, and pple that meant alot to u back in your homeland. Its a really, weird feeling. And its not that i din enjoy the trip, but u'll naturally miss him and her and this and that. and a few others in the trip also felt the same way, i'm sure. Than when i heard this song on WenJie's mp3 on our flight to ShangHai, and i really immerse myself into the lyrics and everything, i felt so overwhelmed by emotion. Everytime the line 我也很想他 comes up, i can immediately see his face zapping across my mind. it's like 真的真的好想他。不知道他还好吗? 不知道他现在在做什么? Then i felt so... homesick. As in home, general term for Singapore.

uh oh. that line is now once again, stuck in my head...

oh yeah, and another song from the same album i like alot alot too.

孙燕资-同类

雨后的城市 寂寞又狼狈
路边的座位 它空着在等谁

我拉住时间 它却不理会
有没有别人 跟我一样很想被安慰

风 停了又吹 我忽然想起谁
天 亮了又黑 我过了好几岁
心 暖了又灰 世界 有时候 孤单的很
需要另一个同类

爱 收了又给 我们都不太完美
梦 作了又碎 我们有几次机会 去追
不晓得为什么爱
又稀少又昂贵

云在半空中 被微风剪碎
回忆也许美 可是正在飞对不对

i love this song. at least at this point in time i really can relate to the lyrics. just a 感慨。。。Sometimes u feel so alone, u really need someone like u who can actually tell u, 'i understand' with a sincere smile.

Warning: Medicine can cause drowsiness. If drowsy, please do not drive or operate machinery.
okie. medicine taking effect. nite, pple...

P.S
once again, i was ignored by the same person. sigh. i wonder i still exist in his world. or i am already just a mere stranger.

Couldn really wake up.
Rushed to school.
Was set at Station Master at East Coast Park games
Set out to east coast park on FOOT.
Started digging the trenches(1/2 metre deep) and holes for obstacle course
Hung out with other station masters till 1 plus plus plus
Games time
Got splashed with a bucket of sea water by Isaac for absolutely no reason.
Heavy Downpour.
Covered up the trenches and holes in the rain while the rest take shelter
Walked back to school
Started pouring super heavily again.
Got caught in rain, drenched from head to toe.
Good fren lent me a tee shirt to change.
Received a sms in which the person is either irritated by me, or annoyed by e fact dat he noes me.
K.O.ed
Realise i look like a lobster.
Look as if the rouge compact exploded in my face.
B.O.D debrief
Left on bus 38 with Eunice to Bedok Interchange.
Started sniffing and coughing.
Came home to clean up and have dinner.
Din noe till mom felt my forehead and told me i'm running a fever.

the senior i never regretted knowing. 

hahaha. yet another night crapping with ZhenYuan on msn.

It's merry exams for him. And in this glorious 'festive season', he is having soooo much fun 'partying' and 'celebrating' everyday. Such is the joy spreading around campus, our dear adorable senior wishes to have a bbq session where he can set fire to his books and notes and skewer his lecturers, roasting them to perfection.

don't u just love such a humorous senior?

he takes ur mind off ur troubles and brings u to crap land. where i dwell most of the time anyway. That's why he is a good guy i will never regret knowing.

P.S hmmm... thinking of moving. re-locating to another blog add cuz... well, too many pple noe this one. its good to constantly move. rite? but maybe i wont have the time... maybe i'll just re-decorate the blog for the new year. Entering Eighteen. cool. i like that phrase. hey wait... re-decorating is even more time consuming than re locating. geez.

ah well. i'm going to sleep. shall leave that to later. long day ahead tomorrow...

family gathering and the worrysome bbq. 

just came back from yet another family gathering. Today auntie Julie made me a Gin + cranberry juice drink. It was suprisingly nice. hmmm... but i don like to drink a lot. usually a glass is my max. Auntie Julie got eyelash extention. haha... she suddenly came and ask me if i can tell the diff and i said... NO. hahaha.... sorry.

Vivien, my cousin, brought her boyfriend. the dunno wad number boyfren le. She's quite popular... and the last time i heard, she had a boyfren who takes foreign languages like her. but apparently that was a LOOOOOONG time ago. This new guy looks pretty decent. Was from the same honours class as her in NUS. His name is Matthew. Everyone was outrightly bullying him. haha... in the sense that he don dare to refuse anything we offer him and he just eats EVERYTHING placed in front of him. But he's a nice guy. Talked to him and Viv a bit. Everyone is nice to him. Everyone likes him. He scored A for family round i tink.

oh well. it was a pretty alright night i guess. tomorrow will be an even more... 'happening' night. i hope. i really really really hope. Meeting Xin Ru early to catch up a bit after all that flying. Too bad Hui Min cant come too. sigh. missing her lots.

Bad news. U noe CCC having Bbq tomorrow too? meaning alot alot of LEPers wont be around for LEP bbq, cuz alot of CCC pple are LEPers. and den 135 wont be saving the world afterall. they not turning up. And Leon is in Malaysia i tink. sigh. guess its just... us. And ZhangHan's return flight from china is tomorrow. cant expect him to rush over from airport rite. double, triple sigh. hope bbq still goes fine.

my christmas eve 

Usually on christmas eve, we'll be at auntie Julie's, my mom's youngest sister's place. It's a family gathering we have every year. Not becuz of christmas eve. more becuz christmas will be a public holiday and we can all stay late. Those gathering usually consists of some wine from aunt julie's cupboard. She is a sophisticated woman of fine taste. my fave auntie. i tink. we'll have good food, and i will get to see my cousins. Cousin Vivien, my fave cousin. I tink she's in her last yr or already masters in NUS- Political Science. Cousin Lawrence, he looks more and more like jing1 cheng2 wu3 everyone keeps commenting. Cousin Joshua, he just got into medicine faculty in NUS, but he was more happy abt the fact that he can defer from NS till he completes his course. hah. strange how i miss them.

The same time this year, there is no gathering becuz it is shifted to christmas tomorrow. But we might not be going. My christmas eve this year is spent eating some left over chili crab granny made (yumz), some left over marcaroni and cheese which frankly speaking tastes quite bad... and some wine. I din drink much. don feel like it. i usually relate wine to auntie Julie. And this year, there's no aunt Julie, no Viv, no Lawrence, no Joshua. weird.

Oh, let's have some christmas-sy talk.

Christmas eve is when everyone is out with their girlfrenz and boyfrenz in orchard road. soooo romantic hor? counting down just becuz. i wonder if they all know that Christmas is actually a phrase insulting Jesus Christ? Or that Christmas is a festival for another religion, not christianity? Or even that nowhere in the bible was christmas mentioned? And that scientifically speaking, Jesus cannot possibly be born in December, but more like October? Nah. i tink Christmas nowadays is turned into a day of sinning. Let's just all get drunk, dance all night and spend spend spend all our hard earned money, to say the mildest mildest 'celebration'. who cares? What does it matter?

YAY~ talk about the true meaning of christmas... ho ho ho... let's all sit here and senselessly count down to christmas, some festival we don even noe why we celebrate, but oh, we must. And add a christmas tree for some stupidity effect. For crying out loud, we don even noe who Jesus Christ is...!

that's what many or rather, most are doing today.
that's why my church never celebrates christmas.

And the news anchor just wished all christians merry christmas.
oh for goodness sake.

P.S. i can really imagine jin feng's face. ho ho ho.

bbq matters 

sigh. just heard from Zi Xin that the turn out for LEP bbq on sunday wont be good... less than twenty most prob. SENIORS!!! aiyoh, my darling LEP seniors, why u all like dat? aiyah... u muz give us face mah. plz turn up??? Si Xiong? Kun Ying? Si Xian? Andrew? Qian Cui? ZhangHan(is he still stuck in China?)? Wan yie? Hui Ying? It's a farewell bbq without seniors? That doesn make sense.

sigh. no choice. time to call in reinforcements. so sad. TJCians not helping TJCians. I called Hoi Fai and Soon Kiat and asked them to come and crash the bbq. And told Fai to ask his whole 135 to come. Sigh. HC reinforcements are the ones that promise me they will come. They are the ones that are gonna save the world. that's sad... seriously. Soon dunno can make it anot... lucky thing those 2 stay near me. the saddest part is, Li Yun organised the 135 outing, on the day of our LEP bbq. somehow that makes me a little bit angry. i'm not in LEP committee... but still... The HC pple are the ones who remind her 26th got LEP bbq. But she said NVM, she doesn want to go. WHY?????????????? sigh. skarly in the end only Fai.Jinx.GuanYin.ChooKiat.WanXin turn up. no TJCians. again. this is stupid. and den the money how? sigh. need to check with Zi Xin etc... but no one has called me just yet.

And u noe on 26th my condo actually have this big end yr bash. but they had to move to the CARPARK becuz i booked the bbq pit and function room and refuse to give it up. My dad declined their offer telling them the sch pple need it. So they prob reckon a whole team of pple coming. den in the end if only a few turn up... i tink i shall be in trouble. sigh.

And LEP com, if u are reading this, can tell me soon soon soon what time u guys heading down that day?? That day i got church u c.... ya, but i heard my mom say only can use the place at 5pm. But maybe a few of u can come up to my house to prep some food first. So ya. call me soon hor.

oh. that means i have to tidy up the house. oh no. sigh. ok la ok la.

p.s i heard LEP club will still be in existence next year! We're not closing down afterall. yay!!!!!!! =PpP
Joyce at 4:34 PM

Loong blog. 

yesterday woke up from a terrible terrible nightmare. thank goodness it is a nightmare. budden i saw my clock. 9:24am. i have a meeting at 9:30am. OOOPs.

Then on my way of rushing to sch, i cant get that nightmare outta my head. sigh. then i realised all of a sudden how much that person in my nightmare really matters to me. how afraid i really am to lose that person. which is kinda sad. i mean. i always knew that person was impt. just din noe HOW impt. argh. and this is bad...

Meeting was... as usual. and i wasn even late. when i got there, only half my B.O.D was there. as usual. Arthur, the latest, came at 10:10am. Meeting was pretty boring. and then i saw that the DSC com was making a t-shirt for themselves. And our B.O.D made noise. So i started designing a 23rd Board of Directors t-shirt. hahah. let's see if anything comes out of it. Cuz u see. i have so many projects now. my LEO album, my LEO t-shirt, and i need to change that B.O.D photo on the noticeboard before J1s come in next yr. becuz it doesn really look good. just couldn be bothered much this yr, but next yr got juniors, musn be that same ugh photo. so ya.

then in the evening we went to Suntec.My B.O.D got Stanley, Yen Mei, Michelle, Peng Juay, Kee Liang, Cai Lin, Jun Meng, Arthur and me. DSC com got Caleb, the chairperson, Jeremy, the vice-chair, Wei Yen, the logistics i/c and Xiao Woon, the project i/c. I met them late la, so they already bought movie tix for me, without telling me~ again. And then my B.O.D hor, ALWAYS watches shows i don watch. They bought tix for KungFu Hustle or something, a movie by Stephen Chow. Ok la. i watch comedies. only i don really watch action movies. hahah. But it turned out ok. in fact, quite a good break. i mean, i seriously needed a laugh. i laughed till i almost choked. hahha. but got some gory parts too, where me and Xiao Woon, beside me will use our bags to cover our eyes. hahah. But the rest was hilarious cuz so exaggerated. i mean, stephen chow, u can guess rite. haha. oh ya, and the ending was sweet. i like happy endings. i like experiencing a fairytale once in a while in the movie theatre even if in real life my life is one big tragedy.

After movie we waited for Yen Mei who went to watch another show. Then we walked out together, we saw Ms Wong outside Carrefour and a male teacher, tink is chem tcher inside Carrefour,both from our sch. Then Ms Wong said Mrs Lim, our principal was in the building too. haha. and for the first time i saw students searching and chasing after their principal. it usually is another way round, u see. =P Saw alot of pple too. on my way there and home. Saw a few sec sch peeps, a few juniors... hahah. Budden City Hall, Orchard all that is like that wan mah. rite?

Oh. but those were just a record of daily events. wad i really wanna blog about is...
i sat down last nite and decided to put my messy life into order. I mean, it is a mess, and it has been a total mess for 17yrs. So i went to the root of the problem. Which is my lack of confidence in myself. It really is a long story la. To briefly summarize, from young, i've been told i'm stupid, lousy, irritating and watnot by pple around me. And den in sec sch, every year something happens to wreck my confidence, the confidence i've been attempting to re-build. So i got sick and tired and of it. and decided to just convince myself i AM that bad. there is nothing good abt me. Ya, i am not pretty, i am not smart, i am nothing. fine. so i developed this inferiority complex which now i am so trapped in. Wadeva happens, i tell myself i cant do it. afterall, i cant do anything rite? So i became so super pessimistic abt things. I always think of the worser than worse that can happen. And maybe cuz i have more than a normal share of pple who constantly help me keep this up, by telling me i really am useless. and i am right to not believe in myself. and everything is my fault. No matter wad crops up, i have to change, because i'm at fault.

So now. i am so tired of that. i want to find myself again. I want to re-claim the confidence Li Si said pple had borrowed. I need to believe in myself. I have dreams. I want to work towards them, and i'll be losing half the battle by telling myself i cant ever do it. But now, i don tink the result matters that much le. Because wad really matters is, i tried. i will try my best. i don care wad happens. i believe God will give me wad he knows is best for me. And that, honestly, is good enough. I made a prayer to God. I want nothing more now, than him. I noe things wont become super smooth sailing even after i made such a decision. I know even with God, it'll still be as difficult as it was. But i noe God promised me strength to carry on. Nothing is impossible in God. I completely trust in that. And wadeva God plans must be for a reason, and must be the best. God has worked in such miraculous ways in my life, except i've been too busy to realise. I said a big thank you to God. But no thank you can be big enough. i know. For once, i want to completely hand over the controller of my life to God. The only person worthy and in the best position to do this job. =)

i feel so much happier after that prayer. I feel so... relieved i noe i wont continue to make a mess out of my life. I noe i need alot alot of support to get through this. And i suddenly noticed the pple who has always always been there, whether i see them or not. The pple whom God has placed in my life to help me through, to support me. His biggest blessing to me. My parents, even my brother, chiayi, jie, hui min, xin ru... and also pple who has been around, for however short a time period. ZhiQing, Xin Tong...haha.and for pple who has cared but i never tot cared. =) u noe who u are.

I just feel happier la. Now i've stepped out of finding myself. Yay! Maybe, just maybe, this is wad they mean by growing up. I want to leave that awkward teenage stage behind. I wanna be a confident, but humble young lady.

And i believe i can do it. =) esp with the help of the angels around me. i noe i can. *Grinz* I will learn to give thanks for these pple and everything i have or don haf even. like if i hadn't gone through all these i had, i would never come to today. rite? RITE.

i'm back. again. 

hi. i'm back from australia. it wasn a good trip. but the place was cool.

hi. i'm back, thanks for greeting me the moment i arrived in Singapore with the 'warmest' welcome anyone could give. 'yar wat??'snapped good fren A. He's already the best. Fren B,C,D,E all ignored my calls.

hi i'm back from youth camp. to put it nicely, the camp was great. to frankly speak, it was the worse camp for me. i arrived to a bunch of pple who belonged to a different world. my dorm was the most happenin in the girl's level. ZiHui, ZhiQing stays here almost all day although they belong to the next room. EVERYONE is usually hanging out here. And i tried, but i failed to fit in. I stuck out like a sore thumb. i felt left out. i felt worse than left out. everyone can be laughing at zihui's joke one moment,the moment i open my mouth, there is awkward silence. i cant tell u how much i hate that. nor how much it really really hurts.

i felt like crying. but i couldn cry. i was too tired to cry. i distanced myself eventually. i sat alone during meals, rejecting company. i felt better. nobody was judging me for once. i could do wat i like, eat my meal in peace and perfect silence. i wondered wat happened to my heaven on earth, the place i grew up in. the people i grew up with. oh geez. i feel like crying again. but tears have somehow left me, to a faraway place. I did things before everyone else, i quickly ate and quickly dashed up to my room before anyone else did. i did wat i needed to do, and i left in a flash with my diary and bible in hand. i would escape to the lv2 'garden'. because that's the level the guy's dorms are. and the guys seriously wont care or even notice i'm there.

so most of my camp, esp at night,i escaped to that old wooden swing that creaks. the swing that belongs to the other girls in the daytime. It's a good place to sit and write my diary, and complain to someone who doesn judge. it feels good to sit there and pray and pray and pray and pray about everything and anything. The clock strikes twelve. it's midnight, already. for one and a half hours no one knew i was here. no one bothered to find me. one part of my hoped no one ever did. one part of me wished someone did. at least that would mean someone cares. i wanted to cry again. but again, i failed. i'm just so tired, so drained... i sat on the swing, swinging somehow to the rythmic creaking sound. God, wat happened? wat will happen? i asked.

i returned to my room. even in a distance, i can hear the laughter and the chatting voices. everyone is happy. that's good. i went in and nobody even looked up. i felt so awful, i felt like leaving immediately. Xiao Rong said, "who do you click with ar?" i couldn even answer properly. because i din noe either. i doubted everyone i tot i clicked with. maybe they're just being polite. all the time. i felt like a guest throughout the camp. and the others were a family. Bi'Na came for the night sermon, she looked trully happy to see me. i felt so warm because someone actually cares. or at least, appears to do, sincerely.

Wei Min and David turned up today. I was so happy. Wei Min held my hand and asked me how i was. Laughing, pinching my nose playfully. David ran to me and held my hand with his tiny hand. Calling me ying jie jie. I felt alot better. Looking after David is one tiring job, but it makes u feel so... happy. Later when me, chia yi and David were playing together, i finally felt included. for those moments. for those few moments. chia yi talked to me a bit. it felt good to hear someone talking to me properly. I felt i had a fren in the camp afterall. i had 3 in fact, chia yi, wei min and david.

Then the moments disappeared. i went back to being excluded. i felt even worse because i just tot i had 3 frenz. i din feel like smiling or talking or interacting with anybody. for the first time ever, i gave jie's comment a very very short response. she looked a little suprised. so was i. i was supposed to talk more than anyone else. i just din feel like it today. onwards. i left the camp alone. i din feel like talking to anyone. i met wen hao and zhi hao. and david and weimin. and xiaorong and chiayi. zhi hao talked to me a bit here and there. I felt that someone actually bothers to ask how i really am, so i talked to him. and wen hao. once again, he thwarts my plan to be alone. he has been doing that throughout camp in many many instances. but he is one guy that i can feel attempting to make me feel at home. he laughs at me, jokes with me, and is just so casual with me. i feel much more comfortable with him than with all the girls added together.

but still. i guess i really am a guest now. i miss my heaven on earth. perhaps it vanished. or i got banished from it somehow. without knowing. i wonder if my 3 frenz were imaginary. i wonder if i should leave for good. i feel sick. it feels terrible to want to cry but cant cry. it feels awful to know nobody in youth cares. or generally speaking, just no one cares.

a breakup. 

sigh. yet another breakup. i wonder how many i have to witness in my entire lifetime. its not a very close fren. just a regular schoolmate. But i feel her pain. sumhow.

she got hurt before. like i got hurt before. she was braver than me, she decided to give love another chance. she went ahead with a new relationship. but it still failed. sigh. makes me feel as if i'll never dare to move away from my comfort zone. entering a relationship is a big big step. i'm glad i haven crossed to that side. yet. hmmm... but i still got hurt. quite badly. hmm... which is kinda sad. how shi bai can i get??

sighz. why are there so many so many complications when it comes to relationships? why cant anyone just be with anyone they want? haiz. but i guess thats not possible. esp for me. haiz. esp for... pple like me. haha. too many things involved to consider. haizz............

forget it. hope my schoolmate gets better. have this S.H.E song lyrics i want to post. but i cant type chinese with this com. UGHHHHH. chinese is so impt in my life. i cant live without cheena. geez.
Joyce at 11:10 PM

er. i dunno wad topic this is. 

ahaha... i finally watched my incredibles. yay~ at least i can go to australia now without worrying incredibles wont be around anymore when i come back. yay~~ haha..

yest was the elders, deacons meeting with mr er... forgot his name, from forgot where. er ya. a foreign speaker. I actually went only to meet up with Clara who just returned from australia. haha. she changed in terms of outlook but is the same funny cute clara i noe few years ago. hehz. told her abt my china trip. ahaha. i cant stop toking abt it. was telling jie and jian xing on the way home today. hehe.

oh. and met up with an old fren who left church le. haven seen him in a LOOOOONG time. so it was nice to catch up for old times sake. he haven changed much actually. in fact, i was the one that did. haha. i realised i changed alot without knowing. haha. 1 yr of JC has such an effect on pple. only 365 days and alot has changed, alot has happened... haha. dunno whether thats a good thing or bad thing. heh. anyways, i updated my fren abt the on-goings in church and his batch pple... one by one. and den i realised actually i noe alot abt the pple in his batch. zhiqing, zihui, my cousin, yi le, xin yi, hwei ching, wan qi, rui yun. haha. he couldn recall all their names anymore. that guy. hah. and i suddenly realised how in a few years time we've changed so much. and that guy is gonna enter NS... and the girls are heading for uni.

wow. time really really flies. i still cant forget the time when me and zhiqing went catching butterflies at batam during church camp. i tink i was p3, and she was p4. haha.... and then we became best friends in sec sch. we were always together. until our names became one word, zhiqingxinying or xinyingzhiqing. we would sing together, chat for hours on the phone, go shopping together and just hang out. haha. then she got into HC. and life changed. she became the mass dance i/c. our lives just drifted apart. She hung out more with hwei ching cuz they were JC students. Hweiz knows her HC friends. den i got into TJC. we're both back on track. but somehow... i'm so caught up with my new love, my sch, i din even feel like talking much. so we remained apart. but we do have the ocassional hug and wave and smile. but we're no longer the best frenz we once were.

haha. funny how a morning of hanging out with an old fren makes u tink abt all these. i miss zq. a bit. haha.

ah. nvm. she's gonna be her doctor. as she always wants to be. i'm gonna be my teacher. also something i always wanted to be. =) we're good.

i'm flying tomorrow anywayz. to australia gold coast. will be back one day into youth camp. hahaha... maybe i should touch down and rush to ACS. hah. ah... leave that to later.

bye everybody... once again, i'll miss u. *hugz*

some assorted crap 

erh. i found jiu4 ai4's blog. erh. i cant stand her blog as much as i cant stand her. geez. i'm leaving. Haha... but at least i'm glad to find that everyone from the immersion trip left with a reluctant heart but returned, missing China or rather, the immersion grp... =) which is exactly my xin1 lu4 li4 cheng2.

ah. missing lala. and jinxie. and Kang Hao. and Zhao Cen. and Tsai Hsiu. and Si Han. and Leon. and guanyin. and zhenyuan. and su1 lao3. and everyone from the trip. er. almost everyone at least. Hope all of u are fine... and able to adjust back to life here. and facing reality. sighz. missing the China frenz i made too... like my host. hehe... she's so cute!!! Korean girl in a China World. hahah... a Singapore girl meets a Koren girl in a China school... talk abt yuan2 fen4!

ah. geez. another model fren added to the collection. My best fren in sec sch, Shila is now a hair model for a UK chain of salons! My best fren. oh no. i am suffocating. sigh. But she's still as nice as before. She's one fren i'll always treasure and never forget. how could i...? we went thru so much together. She was the one always there for me, always believing in me, always telling me i can do it... just always always my support. and i love that girl. She's so cute and cool and confident and pretty.... arh. i'm all praises for Shila gal. as always. a year later, we're still in contact. oh, i'm so glad abt that. yay! we're going out together this hols...!

China Immersion's shadow 

haha. today had to rush out that horrible nightmare - China Immersion report on cha guan. gah. rushed over to Bugis macs to meet Li Yun... and den reach Bugis MRT than realise the report is with me! And i din bring it! So detoured back home to get it. Sianz. Thank goodness Li Yun is willing to change meeting point to Bedok int macs. So we did our report and crapped a bit here and dere and i ate some yummy yogurt and an ice milo. haha. i tink i was seriously slacking, Li Yun was the one really hard at work. erps. sorry Li yun!

But i should be thankful le. Like dearest Soon and Fai have to do 5 reports!! I only 1. I should be overjoyed actually. Sigh. Those 2 quite pitiful... 2 unis and 3 places of 'interests' to cover. And one uni seriously got nothing good to say abt. haha... Zhen Yuan say just tell everyone that that is a lousy sch, as it is. and that Fu Dan is better of cuz. *grinz* Haha. Remember that night we 3 (Soon. Fai. Me) chionging first draft in their room. haha... i do 1, they do 5. haha. talk abt unfairness. haha... but maybe qinghua they all think more highly of Soon and Fai. haha... ya. muz always look on the brite side.

Oh btw. Li Yun kept telling me i should consider Fai. i mean... ERPS. like zhen1 de4 yao4 zhe4 yang4 la... and she also asked me if Jaime and Soon had anything going on... and me and Fai. all thru the conversation, i just kept ERPS-ing. wu3 hua4 ke3 shuo1. Then she told me 135 (in case u guys dunno... is their grp for China Trip) everytime got chat online, they will talk abt it. erps. i pity Fai, have to go thru all their... boliaoz asking. sorry Hoi Fai. =I

But actually its quite funny la. haha... hahahaaha... i cant stop laughing abt it. Dunno why, this time i'm not the least bit angry. Just find it so funny. and even a bit amusing. hehe. And Choo Kiat actually tot we all were double dating. erps. u see, 15 days u surely need a few pple to depend on mah. I happen to depend on Soon and Fai. so we always together only mah. And they are really really really good frenz lor. Always take such good care of me. haha. =) Hopefully even now, after the trip we still can maintain close contact! yeah! Frenz Forever~

I just realised a good fren from RJC who just completed his As is filling out applications to UK unis. I tot guys must complete NS first? haha. but that guy is smart la... sure can get in. Sigh. Wait for me at UK k? =) i hope i will get there someday. DREAMS... sigh. i can go dream on...

Walking Trip 

haha. had fun today. went out with Fai and Soon. Met them at orchard at first after their lunch with the chinese drama pple from HC. cuz they had a meeting in the morn. hah. End up din watch incredibles... cuz only left first 2 rows. haha. and we went walking arnd. hey, not badz, walk from 2:30pm - 6pm. After loittering arnd Cine, we decided to travel to TM. Continued our walking arnd and talking. And i finally saw that rooftop garden. Fai is right, that place isn very... er... romantic. The kids dominate that place, running arnd. Tink will get giddy juz looking at them. Heh. Today's walking trip let me learnt alot more abt those two. haha... like Fai is actually very 'hip', like Soon put it. haha... he actually can buy things from shops me and Soon usually just walk past. hahah. Those 'hip' stores.

Then i saw a Dunman junior. But i forgot his name. Maybe his name is Marcus. Maybe... aiya. really forget liaoz. Choir one. Shiling's junior... den is also councillor. Haha. i took Fai's suggestion and tapped his shoulder. haha. he waved hi, but i doubt that he really recognises me. Oh btw, i got a copy of last year's yin4 xiang4 from Hoi Fai! Yay! Thanks, Fai! Not that i'll really read in detail la.

Sigh. But my incredibles. nvm... i guess have to get VCD lo. Afterall i'm leaving in a few days time. By the time i come back, its surely over le. Oh. And Soon and Fai will be busy, so prob no chance to go out againz. Esp Fai who has his proposal to be done. Soon is only waiting for proposals to come in now... but will be super busy after that. So... oh well. huang cheng will be until... er... march right? ok. see u 2 after that, i guess. so sadz.

Oh. Today i met Chor Ming at the MRT station~ i tot i was hallucinating... so i just keep looking at the person, but din call him... den when i reached the escalator i turned for a final look and realise the person has been looking at me for quite some time too. haha... on the MRT i suddenly received a msg... "Tell me that was you." haha. Chor Ming said if the person wasn me he prob would be viewed as a weirdo cuz he kept staring. haha...

den just now browsing friendster, saw this photo of my HCL classmate. I once commented she changed so much this year, and that time i tot i saw her on news as one of the contestants for teens model search or something. But again, i tot i was hallucinating. Then today happen to see the pix for teen model search. Ok. It was her i saw alright. And Gina too. My TJ 'fren'. as in, i noe her. she should recognize me... but dunno personally lor. She's really quite pretty la. So being in teen model search comes as no suprise. I knew she was a model all along. So after all these incidents,i should start trusting my own judgement rite?

sigh. these model beings make me feel inferior. I can't believe i was actually classmates with one. argh.

anyways... the S.H.E new CD really is quite nice. haha. catchy tunes at least. Oh. just saw this account LinJunJie. haha. i tot is Tsai Hsiu boyfren, HC's LinJunJie. haha. wrong. Its the LinJunJie fan club. hehe...

geez. its really hard blogging in english completely. i sound like an idiot all the time. not that in chinese i don la. But i could sound more... shi qing hua yi in chinese. =I ahh... forget it. seeya guys tomorrow. Tomorrow gotta chiong China Trip report with Li Yun. sigh.

knots. 

was just looking thru my immersion pix. actually they were quite badly taken. ah ya. so sad. my hp pix look even better than cam ones. sigh. nvm, got alot of pix with Tsai Hsiu... wait for her to send it to me.

haiz.someone asked me why i nv consider a relationship. again. hahaha. here we go again. let's not discuss that topic? The fact is. i dun really noe why la. just... don tink i am ready for any sort of real commitment bah. like... i don wan to hurt anybody and i don wanna be hurt too, ya? like at least, not again! =I But of cuz its every girl's dream to be loved, looked after and everything. But... i guess... aiya... i really dunno. i give up. This thingy is the most complicated thing i've ever come across with. It's so simply... complicated.

And den its not as if i have someone who loves me anyways.
Or even likes me.
ah. sighz. such a depressing fact.

Oh. and u know, now i understand how alot of girls feel when someone they like is very close to another girl. In case u dunno, it's a really awful feeling. Even though there really might be nothing going on la, which is in most of the cases, actually. And its worse if that girl is ur fren. But u wont understand how another feel unless u feel it yourself anyways. And guys might never understand. so nvm.

And i realise the best policy is to shut up and just bear with it. No point broadcasting how sad u feel anyways. no cure. and people don really care. And u're stressing up people and making someone feel guilty. haha. hey not bad. 15 days i learnt so much...

dunno whether i should be happy. or sad. afterall... being ignorant of these knots would make life much happier and... less knotty.

hah. how did i get on this stupid topic again? sheesh. i'm going to sleep. maybe knots will go away after one night of rest.

Senior in ShangHai 

haha. just now went out to meet a fren to pass him something. Than din see the msg till quite late, so i was like "Oh NO~ gotta rush!" so i quickly changed and was about to dash out of the house when i realise i had on the Hwa Chong PE tee. So i rushed back and threw on something else. Then realise it's a spags and it was cold and raining. So i went to the yard to pull down my China bought Nike (wadeva real or not)jacket and throwing it on, rushed out of the house. It was only drizzling, but i was irritated by the rain.

Den i got to the MRT station and happen to see Fai! What a coincidence. Then we chatted abt tomorrow's arrangement. den he left. and i continued my wait. My fren came not too long after and after a short chat, we parted ways. Then on my way home, i had to face the stupid weather again. I hate rain. den was so lost in my thoughts i din hear the bicycle bell behind me. By the time i realised, i was forced to the side, almost falling down. sigh. that's just... me.

=I I feel kinda sad somehow. and i really feel stupid and dumb...

why am i doing all this for nothing???? argh.

forget it. now happily chatting with ZhenYuan. Haha... we always have so much to crap and so much to laugh abt. haha. those few days in ShangHai were a lot better cuz of him. He din do much, but it was so nice to see someone familiar. Den 1st time we arrived at ShangHai, he appeared along with a bunch of Singapore seniors. Then we started talking and talking and talking.... haha, till 11:30pm, in guanyin's room.Den dey sent me back to my room b4 leavin, but i went down a while later to look for Jaime and nded up chating w all of e seniors till 12 midnight. Then ZhenYuan promised to return e next night. Next night he popped by our rooms after our night stroll at wai tan with gifts from Fu Dan. So nice of him. sigh. guess there's always the nice seniors and the not-so-nice seniors. =I *grinz* Den we sat and chatted a little and he gave us a little prep abt how tomorrow's shopping area's gonna be. He's just so nice la. haha... like our temp big brother there in Shanghai. =) And i never knew how warm it feels to see someone u noe in a foreign land. at least, i din noe. till then. =)

ok. enuf abt zhenyuan. he's a very nice guy and a great senior. ok. full stop. i shall not go on and on and on and on and on...........

oh geez. after my sore throat finally got well, i'm getting flu. this is so horrendous. i was ok this afternoon!!! Just now sat there watching TV den suddenly started sniffing. and now i'm tearing like Zhao Cen did in China(which i also did not long after her). And my nose is all blocked up and i feel sick. oh no. please no. not again!!!!

i must go and sleep. maybe i'll be better tomorrow. I want to watch Incredibles!
Joyce at 10:12 PM

Yet Another Day 

ah. another fine day in sunny island Singapore. Weather's alright today. Haha... cuz it rained and the air is cool. Supposed to clean up my room in time for LEP seniors farewell BBQ at my house. But a bit sian diaoz. Received a sms from Clara, she's back from Australia - Adelaide~ Haha... but this time she din came back for 1 entire year. So much happened. JC is so... diff. sigh. But already got use to it i guess. Did some shopping for holiday at Aus (So stupid, Clara come back from there, i go over.) bought some instant meals like soupy snax etc. I realise i get put off chinese food and have to survive on any other food except chinese. haha. nvm, shouldn last for too long. =)

Feel like watching a movie tomorrow. Maybe i should get my TM kakis Fai and Soon to go wif me. But i tink they have huang cheng com meeting in the morn. Maybe afternoon? Wanna watch... the Incredibles~ hahaha... =)Ok. i shall quit crapping. ciao.

Go away. 

sigh.
It's a horrible feeling to be slighted. Esp by people who mean alot.
It feels terrible to have frustrations vented on you.
It doesn feel good to see your frenz irritated for wadeva reason.
It feels awful to know you are not appreciated and will never be.
It feels stupid to be doing alot and people don care, probably tinking u are stupid.

Thanks Soon, Fai for being there.
Miss ya lots.

Reality 

oh yeah! My hair and complexion has returned to normal! Cuz in China the weather was harsh and very very dry. My hair compleetly dried up like hay, and my face was nto too good either cuz the water there is like ewwwww, and you have to use it to wash your face. yuck. I almost bought mineral water to wash my face, except that'll be too costly since the hotel counter shop is obviously charging us like ten times the real price in China.

Finally back in my bed, with my bolster and 3 pillows (The pillows in hua bei, our hotel in BeiJing was FLAT. Like it blends in with the bedsheets and you cant see your pillow.)And i finally got to bathe properly, in a clean bathroom and clean water from the shower and as much shampoo and conditioner i want. Yay!

The moment we touched down in Singapore Changi Airport, there was this feeling of relief and also a deep feeling of bu4 she3. I walked out from the aircraft to the arrival gates with Fai and Soon. With kang Hao in front of me. And Choo Kiat, Guanyin a little ahead. I saw Jinxie and Lala. And Cai Xiu and Zhao Cen came to hug me at the baggage collection. It was such a abrupt parting i din even cry, cuz still in a certain state of shock. Its like so sudden, i wasn mentally prepared. yet. The last night in ShangHai was spent in Soon and Fai's room till 4am, with Guanyin staying with us till midnight or so. And Kang Hao came to visit looking for Guanyin after Guanyin left. Though it was the last nite, we were chionging our chuang zuo. We were still trying to figure out that UFO toy we bought... Soon almost succeeding. Fai went to sleep at 2am, leaving me and Soon continuing with our UFO quest. Soon finally made it spin, but still cannot suspend properly. Sigh, calling all physics students for help with this toy!
Anywayz, back to the arrival. Fai and Soon went to help me collect my check in baggage. I saw my cousin, Jason outside, and granny and mom and tim. But i din want to go out. Because i know once i do, everything will end.

But i couldn help feeling relieved at e same time. When we ntered the clean toilets at Changi Airport. And saw cubicles locked when in use (in China they don care) and saw clean fresh water you can drink gush out from the taps.... i was glad to be back. The lady at the counter was so nice, addressing me as Joyce. She gave me a sweet =) and smiled happily with a "welcome home." It was home sweet home for me.
After we left the arrival gates and went to meet our family, i turned, but i already lost sight of Fai and Soon. There were a mass of people and they were gone le.

sigh. bei huan li he. so depressing. Hi Guanyin, if you're reading this, i miss u guys. I tot Fai was ignoring me when he din reply my sms for a day. Than i msged Soon and realised it was the wrong number. hahaha... was so sad cuz i tot so soon Fai forget me le. hah. muz meet someday k, everybody~ or rather, almost everyone.

I love LEP.

JingYi 

i miss Hui Min.

I suddenly tot of JingYi. Oh ya, i should talk abt this. The sweetest thing, or rather, one of the sweetest thing that happened to me while in China. JingYi isn my host, tink she's QingHua' host. She came wif us on our shopping trip at wang fu jing and we were talking.... then she spotted S.H.E's latest CD, and totally screamed in joy. Than she was commenting how the Singaporeans buy CDs scare her, cuz we buy in towers... haha... it's really cheap, like $3 for Sun yan Zi's CD. haha... so everyone went crazy buying. But to them, it's like, woah. Anywayz, the thing is, she din buy the CD cuz she said she still have to save. And i felt a bit bad cuz Soon, Jaime and Fai were buyin andf buying like the CDs were free, and here is JingYi who has to save for one. So when she went out to wait for us, i pulled the 3 together and we four shared price to buy that CD for JingYi. Then came the best part, the suprise! I really enjoyed seeing that smile on her face. She was shocked, than her whole face went red, and she was so touched her eyes got wet. And she kept bowing in gratitude. i was pretty shocked myself. haha. So i asked her to tell me if it is nice the next time we meet since i also bought it, but i don haf discman with me, so cant listen to it.

In our final meeting, there was a farewell party thingy for us. And there were performances, and JingYi went on stage with 2 other frenz and sang the hit song from the CD we bought her. I was so completely touched, i was biting on my lip to prevent myself from tearing. Than she said, "This is from the CD XinYing and her frenz bought me. She asked me if it's nice. It is. Thanks" I melted. I was holding on hard to Fai who was beside me and trying to calm me down. haha. My whole face went red too, and very hot. Then, i knew how JingYi felt when we gave her that CD. The sweetest suprise. haha. anywayz, why did i suddenly tink of her? Cuz now i'm listening to hou4 niao3, the song she sang for us. Btw, the three of them sounded near perfect, i tink they can take over S.H.E when they retire.

Haha. i miss JingYi. And that song means so much now. =)
sigh. so sad we had to leave. so sad we have to return to reality. Fai and Soon back to their Huang Cheng. Leon and Si Han back to hamoc. Guanyin back to his C.O competition. Everyone else back to hols homework and the cruel reality. Just for that, i miss the times together. I even miss China which i'm never going back.
Joyce at 8:36 PM

continuing with the trip 

haha. realised i have no mood to do anything but blog now. So i shall continue with my China Trip. hahaha... bear with me, pple.

The weather was cold at BeiJing, for ten days there i finally felt fat cuz i wore 5 layers minimum. Haha... i noe i v kiasu, but guess wad, i still felt freezing cold. It feels like i'm slapped on both cheeks each time i go outdoors and then u feel like someone is pinching ur cheeks all the days. It's a good feeling. There were a few days when it started to gua1 feng1 and thus the temperature dropped drastically. At night when me, Hoi Fai, Soon Kiat, Cai Xiu, Jaime sneaked out to the nearby supermarket, it was like woosh, welcome to the freezer. Those days temp was arnd -5 degrees to 3 degrees.

Then ShangHai was hot in comparision. i only wore 1 sweater and no big coat. no long johns. Then i caught a cold that lasted till now. hahaha... but i still tink it was ShangHai's bad air that caused it, not the cold. I dislike ShangHai pple. I'm sorry. But i just don like them. And both BeiJing and ShangHai has their super rude chinese. I've never seen pple being so rude. ever. Maybe Singaporeans are too nice.

Ok. The pple... 15 days. Let's see, the people i will never forget from this trip...

Soon Kiat
I never realised how multi talented this chap can be till now. He's a really really good fren, and he's the one in charge of the bargaining. This guy can like do everything lor. And he's a wan4 ren2 mi2. haha... face it, Soon. Maybe cuz he's the first single huang2 cheng2 zong3 jian1 in many many years? Or maybe he's just him. His friendly engaging charming personality? hahahahaha....Glad to noe him so much better these 15 days. =)
Hoi Fai
Haha. The two of us keep getting ostracized when on outings, meaning the two of us also end up together at the end of the group. Thus, somehow pple tink we're together or something. And pple keep coming to tell us we very pei4. erbz... but it's one fei3 wen2 we both find so hilarious i always laugh when i hear it. and not angry at all. haha. anywayz, Haven't met someone i click so well with in a long time! And he really takes care of me, and is a very very good fren. =)
Tsai Hsiu
A very nice, very caring and superb listener. Maybe cuz our birthdays so close, our personality and way of doing things are very similar. She understands almost everything i tell her and can empathise cuz we're so alike! Became quite good frenz with her and even spent a night at her and Zhao Cen's room....
Zhao Cen
We're in the same group and we have a lot of time together. The second scorprio i met who is so nice, the first being Soon Kiat. Just so happens while we're in China, there was this new report that scorpions are now used to cure some sort of illness. So we came to the conclusion Zcen belongs to this category of helpful scorpions. hahaha. This girl is very very pretty, in my opinion. but after knowing her so much better, i conclude she's even prettier in terms or personality.
Leon
Si Han

The two names are supposed to be one word i should tink. Such a cute couple that kept bickering for nearly six hours on the plane. Cant believe i actually sat between them initially. Couldn stand it finally and switched places with leon. Then from time to time Leon tried to talk to me etc. Ok la, they're two super super nice pple, which are very very pei4. Met Leon on the plane to China, and started talking to him then. Later he look my TODAY paper and forgot it was mine, writing his chuang zuo on it. haha... Si Han is quite sweet, and a very nice girl. They're both very lucky people.
Xue Fen
She reminds me of a nurse cuz whenever i start coughing or show symptoms or a cold, i can always approach her for medicine. She has all sorts of medicine for everything u can tink of. She's even more well-equipped than the first aid box the first aid pple brought over manz. And she's a cute doraemon too... with her doraemon like big blue coat. Very cute, very nice gal!
Jinx
Hey, i'm not scolding her, she told us to call her Jinx. Jinx is really nice and really fun and everyone loves Jinx. Her real name is JiaXin but u tend to forget that after sometime. It's always so nice to talk to her... except that she always concludes that when she cannot find Hoi Fai, he is with me.
Lala
Lala is our top model. She dresses like a top model and brought masks over to china to ensure her complexion is well taken care of. Lala brought a lot of earrings over, long dangly, top model earrings. Lala is very nice, and Lala taught me how nice it is to have someone hooking hands with you... walking along the scenic gardens and ancient buildings. Except that it's just Lala and me. We're both single. =)
Kang Hao
Hahahahahaahahahahahahahaaaahahahahahaahahahahahahaha...........
Li Fang
cute small sized gal in the same group as me. I still cannot except the fact she's actually 2 yrs older.
Si Yu
Remember, my NUS openhouse fren?? haha... we meet again!
Wen Jie
Haha... our zhi3 xiang3 zhe4 yang4 bao4 zhe4 ni3.
Choo Kiat
Ok la... this guy should be one of the most shuai guys in our entire tuan2. he always give me this weird look cuz it so happens we always meet each other when he come out of his room and i am entering Soon and Fai's room.
mensa_gymnast_GuanYin_angel
His nick says it all. stupid smart guanyin. haha. he's such a good fren! And we escaped from his beloved senior together at wai4 tan1 at ShangHai. That made us closer frenz cuz got common 'enemy'. hahaha...
So Swee Hock (Su1 Lao3)
I love his close one eye policy. And we can talk to him like a fren... and just chat abt everything!

Those missed out are missed out unintentionally. really. Either i really cant remember them, or i don wan to remember them. Like jiu4ai4. Oh shucks, i remember her.

Oh ya, and the China frenz i made:
Bei Jing
Xiao Ke
Quan Zhi Ying
Liu Wen, Isabel
JingYi
ShangHai
Ming Man
Si Yuan

Geez, cant believe i'm eating flour again... that pack of foodstuff i got from China... its just flour. and i already ate 15 days of flour. i tink i shall boycott chinese food for a week.
Btw, Zhao Cen and Leon is online. see ya.

I'm home 

i'm back. I tot i'll be overjoyed. But i suddenly ffind it difficult to return to life here. It's like... i'm used to life in China, after a mere 15 days. I keep singing the same song over and over again, fen1 xiang3. It's the song i learned within the 15 days cuz its our performance for the BeiJing and ShangHai schools. It's the theme song for my 15days. I miss everyone. Feel detached from Singapore. Don get me wrong, i missed S'pore so much those 15 days, but now i'm finally back, it's weird. Was feeling sian abt everything, and pretty bored, when i met Woon Kiat online. Wad a suprise!! I miss our guanyin so much! (some joke we had... guanyin is woon kiat's nickname)Haha... he added me on msn before everyone, and today i actually came online just to add Hoi Fai, Tsai Hsiu, Zhao Cen, Leon etc onto my msn list. I miss them all.

i cant blog about all 15 days, because i tink i'll use up a year's space for blogs. And my bro's com doesn have chinese software, and my own com just permernantly went out of use. So... ya, maybe next time i shall bore you all to death with the details. So many things happened in that mere 15days, peppered with assorted emotions and garnished with lots of laughter, tears and wadnot. It consisted of camping in other pple's rooms, lots of shopping and bargaining, a compulsory amount of learning, lousy accomodation, standard chinese food, many new good frenz, partial amount of love being in the air constantly and a lot of missing home and everyone here.

Just some odd stuff:
-Met Tsai Hsiu, whose bdae is just one day after mine (but she's a year older). Our personality is very very similar so we get on super well!
-Hang-ed out most with soon Kiat and Hoi Fai. Then later guanyin too.
-Met Si han and Leon, the cutest couple for now. believe me, i observed them for nearly six hours on the plane cuz i sat between them.
-Met another Gladys-like-figure who makes me laugh everytime i look at him, Lee Kang Hao, my super funny comical group leader.
-Played alot of quack games introduced by our resident quack Hoi Fai.
-Went with 3 bags, came back with 6...

abt this for now...more next time, when my com if fixed. off to chat with guanyin. see ya all. =)
